  1. Re:Simple/awesome Win2k cmd prompt on What Does Your Command Prompt Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Nice!

    I put "prompt $t$h$h$h$h$h$h@%computername%$_[$p]" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun" to set the prompt automatically when I run cmd.exe (which I do a lot these days...)

  2. Same info in Win2k on Linus Says No To Annoying Boot Messages · · Score: 1

    Easy. Add the /SOS-switch to the win2k-entry in boot.ini. It then displays the files it loads.

  3. Re:CL vs Scheme on Using Lisp to beat your Competition. · · Score: 3

    Or why not learn Caml? It's fast! Yay.

  4. Re:IPv6, IPv4 and other quirkifications on A New Approach to IP Address Exhaustion · · Score: 1

    Umm... I have IPv6 on my Win2k-box. Admittedly, it's a beta release, but IE haven't had any trouble accessing the few IPv6-servers I've found out there.

  5. Re:Does anyone else hate its name? on Game Boy Advance Arrives · · Score: 1

    I heard that when translating Donkey Kong, Nintendo discovered that "Monkey Kong" was an already existing, trademarked, figure in America, so they quickly changed the name to Donkey Kong. I might be wrong, though :^)

  6. WinMX! on Napster Traffic Drops · · Score: 1

    who cares about Napster... just use WinMX and connect to several OpenNap-servers simultaneously. Mmm... ogg!

  7. Re:Who uses assembler? on Who Still Codes In Assembler? · · Score: 2

    I remember back in high-school I was having fun with JMP FFFF:0000 in debug. I once sneaked the generated .COM-file into my teacher's computer's boot-sequence. He couldn't for his live figure out what was wrong, so he released the class for the rest of the day.

    I grew up some years later.

  8. Re:8/10ths, and I am sad on Eight Tenths Of A Lizard · · Score: 1

    >Not sure about 5.0, but 5.5 and upward does.

    PNGs have been supported in IE since version 4, though only IE 5.5 supports PNG images with an alpha channel.

  9. nihil on The Etymology Of NickNames? · · Score: 1

    well... I've gone by the nickname “nihil” (a Seigmen song; also Latin for nothing) for just about all my online life; though when I signed up for a /. account I was reading R. Jordan's Wheel of Time, and I couldn't get the name “Moghedien” out of my mind.

    Some people also know me as “lavpuls” (low pulse) because of a weird incident involving alcohol some years ago. I think someone still has a video recording of it... :D

  10. Re:Well... Actually on Will Browser-Neutral Web Soon Become Thing Of Past? · · Score: 1

    Well, that's because Mac has 72DPI and windows has 96DPI. Specifying the font-size in pixels corrects the matter.

  11. Re:This is sad... on Netscape 6 Is Out (Really!) · · Score: 1

    I can't even do basic things like getElementById in IE...

    strange. works perfectly in my copy of IE 5.5.

  12. Re:In that case... on English, The Global Internet Language? · · Score: 1

    hihi, helt enig. hmm, hva med lokaliserte slashdot-versjoner? en norsk versjon, en svensk versjon... slashdot.no, slashdot.se etc.

    eller kanskje ikke. jeg skal holde kjeft nå.

  13. Re:it's gonna be wonderful! on Final Fantasy: The Movie · · Score: 1
    >But Final Fantasy I-VI were never released in Europe.

    well.. hm. you're right. but at least there were import versions available...

  14. Re:it's gonna be wonderful! on Final Fantasy: The Movie · · Score: 1

    ah, but I was talking about the European FF2.. which is the Japanese FF4. very confusing, I know..

  15. it's gonna be wonderful! on Final Fantasy: The Movie · · Score: 1

    as a long-time final fantasy- and Square-fan (anyone remember ff2 on the SNES?), I can't wait to see the result. it's gonna be like heaven again..

  16. Re:Lots of TLDs on New TLDs Proposed To ICANN · · Score: 1
    >but I obviously wouldn't want .sun!

    though no doubt Sun Microsystems would like one of those... :)

  17. Re:There should be an Ars spoof website on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 1
    >(in the tradition of the Tandy "Trash 80")

    awww.. don't make fun of the TRS-80! I learned how to program in BASIC on that thing :) .. and as it had no external storage, I learned touchtyping by typing in 400-lines programs every day.. ahh.. nostalgia.

  18. Re:darwin X server? gtk on aqua? on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 1
    >I'm now calling it "Oslo".

    hehe.. be my guest. though out of local patriotism I might just take the joke a step further and start calling it `Kristiansand'. IMHO, Oslo is a very noisy city.
